Has anyone used this tablet to download and listen to AUDIObooks from the library? They typically use the "Overdrive" or "OneClickDigital" apps.

Hi Lake. I downloaded the Audiobooks Now application from Getjar and it works great. The Kryos is not approved for the Android Market but comes with Getjar already installed so it can access a lot of applications. One heads up, it looks like Coby is out of business: http://consumerist.com/2013/10/16/coby-electronics-shuts-down-taking-customer-warranties-with-it/

I first bought a Coby -- incompatible with Overdrive. My only experience is with Sansa -- check BestBuy online; there was a good deal on 4 GB last month. It took me over 6 months to discover how to put Overdrive books into the Book section, rather than Music -- so, I am sticking with the Sansa Clip Zip.

Yes. I actually use the Nook app in the tablet to read my e-books (even though I don't own any B&N; books), reads my EPUB books perfectly and I like its internal (i.e. not online) dictionary. I think it has the Kindle app pre-installed but I haven't used it.

To 5 yorkies and H. Bowman: This should work just fine for the both of you. I've had this a few days, but today was the first time I've really had time to play with it. Its taken all day to get to get an eReader that will work good. This unit comes with Aldiko as the eReader app, but I couldn't figure out how to buy/download books (it comes with downloads to tons of free books, but thats not what I was looking for). Someone else on this site gave a web address to download Kindle for Android and now I have it downloaded (even started reading the book I was looking for). I was able to setup my email right away, although it didn't work very well through the setup wizard (I have yahoo mail). Since I already have an android phone, I checked the settings on my phone and just did a manual setup using the same settings. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do what I can do help. Good luck to you...I'm loving my new tablet so far.

I'm very new to these devices, but I sure like the price for this one. Here's my problem: I'm disabled and the click buttons would be a huge problem for me if they are too stiff and hard for me to click. Also wondering about using it for both music and audiobooks, sounds like audiobooks are problematic, and expensive earbuds might be necessary. Help, anyone? Thanks.

I use my Acer primarily as an ebook reader, with occasional checks on the weather and the news. I haven't had problems with my Acer except for one ebook app, MoonReader. I suspect the problem with yours is the app and not the tablet. Try other apps and see if they give exactly the same problem. If they do then probably is the tablet but if they don't you have app issues.

ok so i will see what i can do to help first what pdf reader did you end up installing? and did you transfer them to sd or the internal tablet memory? If so one thing that you can try is plug the tablet back into your pc see what file or location they are at then target it that way. If you are uncertin as to how to do this let me know what reader you are using and i will run the same on mine and give you a walk threw.Robert.d.geier@g-m-a-i-l if you have any further questions

it's pretty simple. i use mine for audio books which i download from the library. if you want audio books there is software you download called Overdrive Media. There will be a link for this at your library site. I have also transferred things from CD's. You highlight what you want and copy to the device just like you would transfer things to a flash drive. Does that answer your questions? if not, let me know and i will try and answer them.

You SHOULD be able to get the free Overdrive Media Console from the App Store (many if not most libraries are going to this reader - our Memphis library has). I read a review on Samsclub site from an owner saying that her two sons played games against each other on the internet, so you should be able to download from the library - you may need a micro SD card to expand the memory capacity, but they're not expensive and simple for anyone to install.

Yes, I use my shuffle only for audiobooks which I get from the library or Audible.com. First, Connect Shuffle. Then, 1) download book to OverDrive Media Console. 2) Open Finder, book chapters should appear in Finder. 3) Open iTunes: click on File on task bar; click/open "Add to Library" in drop down dialog box. 4) Go back to Finder and highlight book/chapters in Finder. 5)drag chapters to music under devices in "Add to Library" dialog box. 6) Click "open" at bottom of screen. 7) Click "sync" at bottom of screen. Hope this helps. I think I got the steps in order. Seems confusing at first, but after you do it a few times it's easy. Enjoy listening.

Neal, I am considering a purchase of the iRiver clix for audio books rather than music. Have you downloaded any books yet, and, if so, what was the outcome? Thanx!

I just downloaded the kindle app...and then downloaded stuff through that program..It was easier for me to look at the kindle store on a pc and download from there...it does take a minute to load up on the tablet.

I am an Audible user so have no idea about the Overdrive books, but if you convert them to mp3 they will play. Restarting from where it was turned off at, most of the time...the rest of the time, the battery dies....

Yes, I haven't run into any problems yet. Works with downloads from Audible among others.
